Cannulae and catheters are inserted in the heart during cardiac surgery to perform several critical functions. Perhaps most importantly, they remove de-oxygenated blood from the patient, send the blood to the heart lung machine, and then return oxygenated blood back to the patient.
Terumo manufactures several globally-known brands of cannulae and catheters, including the full Sarns™ and L Series™ product lines. Terumo® Arterial Cannulae are often considered the surgeons' choice and are used in more than 50% of arrested heart cases in the U.S.
